I've always loved telling stories, but never enjoyed writing. When I found photography, it was the perfect medium for me to express myself. With each shoot, I unveil the unique stories of my subjects, and tell them with beautiful imagery. People often tell me that they feel like they know my clients just from reading my blog.

They say photographs are the only tangible memories, which means that my perspective is how you will remember some of the most important moments in your life. With that in mind, I have to capture the details (big and small) in the most beautiful light. I want you to laugh and cry when you look at your photos. Whether it's your wedding day or your babies growing up, time goes by so fast, so it's my job to document your story... beautifully.

In order to give each client my full creative energy, I only take a limited number of weddings a year. (aka I book up fast and don't offer discounts.)

orange county newborn baby photography | van family

This holiday season, I’m realizing more and more how much I LOVE photographing kids, especially babies. Audrey contacted me months before she was due to book me for a newborn session. I’ve been so eager to meet baby Ethan and his new family. Audrey kept me up to date with the pregnancy and the last email I got from her said that she was being induced the next Monday, but then I got the text a few days later saying that little Ethan arrived! I immediately checked my calender and headed down to Irvine the first available date I had. It’s so important to do newborn photos within the first two weeks. They don’t curl up quite the same after.

Baby Ethan was such an easy baby. Slept literally like a baby. I love this photo of Audrey with baby Ethan. Aren’t they both gorgeous? I love how mother’s glow around their baby.

I could watch him sleep all day. I love how he’s all curled up!

Now let me introduce to you Ethan’s two beautiful big sisters! They were really shy when I first arrived.

Lauren is the eldest sister. She loves helping and was a wonderful helper this day. She helped me dress her sister, showed me around, and helped me sort out my stuff.

Hailey is the little sister. She was extremely shy at first, but soon warmed up & her silly cute self totally shined.

These kids make me want kids!

And I love watching parents with their kids…

In the above photo, Lauren was comparing her hands to her dads and she says, “Im catching up!”

Hailey was such a ham once she warmed up. Love that photo of her holding Ethan and her giggly smile.

Welcome baby Ethan! You have a beautiful family and two wonderful sisters! I look forward to watching you grow, but pleeease take your time!

AWWWW! How precious are these photos? Ethan and his sisters are all absolutely gorgeous- what a lovely looking family. Babies are just so much fun!

I love the pictures from this shoot Caroline! I also have a sister who is close to me in age and we have a brother that is about 6 yrs younger than us so the pictures of these girls and their new baby brother reminds me of so many pictures my parents have of the three of us right when our brother was born! So precious!
